Capítulo 298: Chapter 178: Shangguan Seeks Reinforcements

As soon as the New Year passed, Lu Yuan began to busy himself again.

By now, half a year had gone by. Before participating in the Inescapable Meeting, he had recruited 15,000 new recruits, who had trained for half a year and were now barely considered an army.

According to usual practice, once new recruits had reached this level of training, they needed to be taken outside for some actual combat experience, facing some enemies in several battles and accumulating battlefield experience.
